what gets me is that most western anime fanarts pirate/illegally stream their anime/manga but get all uppity if their patron gets leaked or whatever

animators, especially inbetweeners, make slave wages btw and the majority of anime doesn't make a profit, so it's not like they're sticking it to the man either

^This.

That's a problem that would definitely be solved by Americans paying ludicrous importing fees and not at all by labor reform in Japan.

Eh, more people watching anime legally means that the amount studios could get from licensing could increase. More money (+ reforms) = less excuses from tptb, so people working on those studios could get better wages.

But if there aren't even profits and licensing doesn't mean much in terms of money...

Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but if the majority of anime didn't make any profit, anime would rarely ever get made and there wouldn't be 20+ shows every season.
I don't think it's a big of a failure as you're making it out to be imo.

(da)
Anime is mostly a platform for manga and/or merchandise sales. When there's profit, it usually comes from those and not from DVD sales or ads.

Also,the western market usually doesn't really feature into the equation.

Wrong. The western market very much features into the equations now. It didn't used to. But now, getting picked up overseas is one way anime can make money. It's why companies like Aniplex, Bandai, and Pony all have U.S. bases now when in the 1990s anime was done by small companies like Media Blasters, Animeigo, RightStuf, Manga, ADV, and the few that managed to survive - Funi & Viz. So overseas profits are VERY much in the equation.

Co-productions partially funded by Western companies are starting to happen again, too.
